Enjoy special menus benefiting breast cancer charities through the end of the month.

Restaurateur Antonio Cagnolo, who declared October “Black Truffle Month,” will serve the fragrant fungi, shaved paper-thin, atop pasta, salads and pizzas at his three restaurants in and around South Coast Plaza. His flagship Antonello Ristorante will offer truffle dishes, while Nello Cucina and Quattro Caffé will serve truffle-topped pizzas.

Order from any of these truffle menus and Cagnolo will donate 25 percent of the proceeds to THE Breast Cancer Fundraiser, an Irvine-based nonprofit that provides patients with counseling, massage therapy and transportation services.

In Irvine, Geeta Bansal, executive chef and owner of Clay Oven, is offering a prix fixe menu with 25 percent of proceeds benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a breast cancer charity based in Costa Mesa. Bansal, a breast cancer survivor, is offering a $40 three-course meal that includes roasted tomato and cumin soup, a choice of three entrees, and pink rose panna cotta for dessert.
